below are some pics ricky shot.

7029 gettin some water time.

been stoked to share some sessions with my good friend ricky. we have been surfing and hanging out. i've been stoked to feel my phi-n that i designed and david made. i'm looking forward to changing out fins to our flothru. the surf has been kind of gutless and then slightly chunky. regardless, i am psyching on this new set up!!!! check the video below. we scored some MENTAL conditions. too bad there wasn't a little more push!

mr 7029

so stoked on this. there are major changes going on right now. we have been in the process of selling and buying a house for a WHILE, and it looks like that is about to be a done deal. i am so spyched on our new location. next level kind. i have been working with david town on these fins. matt just got this board to me. i got this project that will be published before too long. got the ptaches about to hit soon. family is good, work is good. STOKED!!!!

these fins will be looking bright and opaque once we get beyond the prototype testing stage.

loving the eyes on this one!!

i've always wanted a pig with a cigar band.

sunday

lazy bottom turns, floppy head dips, man turns...repeat.

what a week!

almost got robbed sunday, got pink eye monday, left work early tuesday, went to sano wednesday, back to work thursday, had my first car collision in 26 years of driving friday (in my work parking lot of all places!) scored the clean shit saturday morning.

this pic below is classic. the house i am parked in front of is "the gold dust lady's" house. a stevie nicks enthusiast judging from her license plate frame. she H A T E S my van. she has been trying to slander me to all the neighbors. they've told her to calm down. we are currently in a feud for this parking spot. i took this picture , so when i move, i'll print it on a post card and send it to her.

today was fun. crisp clean kind with a god friend. Y E S.

good friends, epic waves... and great plastic!

my boy ricky muniz took the photos. not only is ricky a mean shredder, amazing (start to finish) board builder, and fantastic human...he is also a lens-smith. bravo! below are a few of the highlights. just doing what we do, when we do it.

channeling my inner "casanova pelvic tip jib!!"

can't quite tell if i'm trying to stall, or cut back or just flaunt my supremely cultivated IPA gut.

when the photos were taken, i had been gunnin this board / wetsuit combo for 45 months. that's 3 years 9 months for the unit conversion challenged. in other words, my BING FERAL PIG and my ZAP! wetsuit have been giving me love for a LONG time. i trip on it. i am so grateful for the quality products I have received from my good friends at ZAP! and BING over the years. they have DIRECTLY contributed to my pleasure in life. and that brings balance to the rest of my life. i am in debt. i don't know any person that sports the same wetsuit and board for that long, and have their products in the condition mine are in. i never put my board in a bag. i rarely rinse my suite.

little trim.
